Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate, has dismissed the rumour of an impending impeachment against him as false and a fiction of the writer’s mind.
On Wednesday, Akpabio issued a statement through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, in response to online articles titled “DSS Takes Over National Assembly Amid Impeachment Speculations Against Senate President Akpabio.”
He maintained that there was no break in the Upper Chamber and that no Senator or Caucus was scheming to impeach the President of the Senate, emphasizing that “every Senator is focused on raising the bar of legislative agenda and nation building.”
He said:
“Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio, GCON, President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, wishes to state without equivocation that the speculation and misinformation circulating about an alleged impeachment plot against him is the handiwork of fifth columnists who are perpetual merchants of misinformation and purveyors of mischief.
“As a Head of one of the Arms of government, the President of the Senate categorically denies these baseless claims and reaffirms his commitment to transformational leadership of the Senate particularly and effectively collaborates with the other arms of government. There is no crack in the Upper Chamber and no Senator or Caucus is plotting any impeachment against the President of the Senate. Every Senator is focused on raising the bar of Legislative Agenda and nation-building.
“The allegations are nothing but a desperate attempt to create division and discord among the esteemed senators. It’s unfortunate that some individuals would resort to spreading falsehoods to promote the invidious reins of their blackmail enterprise.
”Senator Godswill Akpabio remains focused on the implementation of the 10th Senate’s Legislative Agenda and working tirelessly to address the pressing National issues of growth and prosperity.
”The Senate President will not be distracted by these unfounded rumours and wants to assure the public that his commitment to Nigeria’s progress remains unwavering.”
